Description
¡Hola, soy Dan!
This year, I left my life in NYC and embarked on a solo, 40,000km motorcycle journey from Brooklyn, NY to Ushuaia, Argentina. Aside from making it to the end of the road, my mission for the trip is to stop and spend meaningful time at places along the way: learning Spanish and diving deeper into the "true" cultures of Latin America. So far, I have travelled through the U.S., Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Colombia.

Gaining perspective through travel and the service of others is a guiding principle in my life. I believe that being able to truly empathize and understand one another is the single thread holding together many disparate cultures across the world, but it requires intentional practice and purposeful study. I've found that working/volunteering is one of the best ways to do this!
